'lid I'd chosen the horse I wanted. 'Ah - these are very old coins, ma'am,' the farmer said dubiously. 'I don't think I've ever seen any quite so old.' 'They're part of my inheritance, good farmer,' I lied quickly. 'My family's a bit on the tight-fisted side, and once they get their hands on a coin, they tend to keep it.' 'That's a commendable trait, but I don't really know what these are worth in today's money.' 'Silver's silver, good farmer. It's the weight that's important, not whose picture's stamped on the front of the coin.' 'Well - I suppose you're right about that. Only 'I'm really in a bit of a hurry, friend. My nephew and I absolutely must get to Sulturn before the week's out. Why don't I just add three of these coins to cover any possible difference in value?' 'I wouldn't want to cheat you, ma'am.' In a very real sense, I'd created the Sendarian character, and now it was coming back to haunt me. In the end, the honest farmer and I settled for two extra coins, and I became the owner of a mottled grey horse named Squire. The good farmer threw in an almost worn-out saddle, and Geran and I prepared to leave. First, however, I had a talk with Squire, who hadn't been ridden all winter and who was feeling frisky. I took him - firmly - by the chin and looked straight into his large eyes. 'Behave yourself, Squire,' I advised him. 'Do your prancing and cavorting around on your own time. You really don't want to make me cross, now do you?' He seemed to get my point, and after a mile or so of getting used to each other, we settled into a rolling canter that literally ate up the miles. 'This is much better than walking, Aunt Pol,' Geran said enthusiastically after a little while. 'I'll bet my feet won't be sore tonight.' 'No, probably not, but some other part might be.' Geran and Squire hit it off well almost immediately, and I felt that to be a good thing. The young prince was carrying a heavy load of grief, and his friendship with our horse helped to take his mind off that. We reached Sulturn in two days, but I bypassed the city and took a room in a village inn rather than one of the more opulent lodging houses in Sulturn itself. I felt that it was safer that way. We continued on toward the northeast for the next several days,, and I spent a fair amount of that time giving Geran instructions In the fine art of being unobtrusive. To further that end, I dyed lhis characteristic sandy-colored hair black. It was just possible that Ctuchic's Grolims might know that virtually everybody in the line of iron-grip and my sister had the same color hair and they'd be looking for blond little boys. I also concealed the tell-tale lock in my own hair with some intricate braiding.
